“We’re excited to take our successful Insite conference series to New Zealand for the first time,” said Mark Gray, managing director, APAC, ChannelAdvisor. “We’ve seen the New Zealand e-commerce market grow steadily over the past few years.

There are now 1.9 million New Zealanders shopping online, 56 percent of the total population1. Insite Auckland will provide New Zealander retailers with valuable networking and educational opportunities so they will be well positioned to capitalise on these trends.”
